Article Synopsis
- Patients who have undergone total laryngectomy (TL) often experience lung issues related to smoking, making lung function assessment crucial through spirometry tests.
- Traditional spirometers are ineffective for these patients because they breathe through a tracheostomy instead of a mouthpiece.
- A new device designed with biocompatible polymer allows spirometry through the tracheostoma, has been tested on 5 TL patients, and proved to be comfortable, safe, and effective for diagnostics.
